A Holiday Jubilee at Pamela on Thurs,
day the Goth.

Notwithstanding the happy descrip-
tion given of the gala occasion for Pan
ola on the 29th by our Ponola contri-
butor we must add a word in the way
of doing something for the success of
the festivities. Our Pamela friends
aressambitious and patriotic. With
hard labor and at great cost they have
built first class academy which is a
great honor and benefit to their COM
munity. This building has been all
paid for with the exception of about
SITS, and now the laborers and pro-
moters of the projected carnival ex-
pect to liquidate by this means the
debt on their academy. The purpose
is so praiseworthy that the patronage
is bound to be generous; but apart
from this the merits of the Christmas
jubilee, the attractive programme, are
bound to draw crowds and crowds OF
people to Pamela on the 29th. The
first and greatest indueement will be
the presence of Governor Richardson
and the pleasure Of listening to one OF
his eloquent speeches. He has been
invited, accepted the invitation, and
will be there. And as another induce
ment we have the authority for stat
ing that Hon. John J. Dargan, of
Sumter, and Col B. Presley Barron
will both be present and deliver ad-
dresses. Col Rice, the superintendent
of education will not attend as stated
by "Panola." a late letter from him
contains his regrets that he has other
engagements. Next, and by no means
the last attraction Of the day, the
three military companies of the coun-
ty will be inspected by Governor
Richardson. The Guards have ac-
cepted an invitation through Captain
Levi from Captain Brailsford of the
Dragons. This feature of the enter
tainment to all who love the military
and enjoy seeing our soldiers in their
brilliant uniforms, will aford abundant
pleasure. a band will be on hand
and it's martial strains will enthuse
every one with life, vivacity, and ami
nation. A boundless Xmas board
will be spread unsurpassed by Sar-
atoga feast. Everybody cordially in
vited and all will be royalty entertain

The message Of the President con-

ton of the laboring classes of the coun-

culture, 4,074,23 in professional and
personal services, (2,974,S76 of whom
are domestic servants and laborers),

transportation, and 3,S37,112 are class

We are glad to note that the effort
TO cut off a part Of Clarendon County
to form q new county with parts Of
Williamsburg, Darlington, and Marion
counties, has been vetoed by the Sen
ale. Small counties always suffer with
high taxation. The smaller the coun-
ty the higher comparatively the taxes
are. Every county corporation how
-sver small, must necessarily have the
same number of officers and the same
government as larger counties. Clar-
endon county has not one inch of
ground to spare and for every dollars
worth of property taken from her ter
ritory the taxes will be increased just
that much. But it is the inate desire
of every citizen of Clarendon to do
full Justice, brother to brother, and if
the projected looping of OF part of
Motts township will benefit our fellow
citizens affected by it, all will agree to
give up to their wishes. It is not
likely, however, that the citizens of
Motifs township will be in any better
condition by allying themselves with
another people. They are on this side
of Lynches River, and Will necessarily
have to cross it in going to their pro-
posed county-seat. This river is of
ten affected by freshets and is some
times impossible, and at these times
they will be entirely shut off from
communication with their interests.
This is, in our opinion, very grave
objection to the new county so far as
it affects Clarendon. There are other
and weightier objections that could be
urged, but s letter received from our
senator says that the matter has been
dismissed for the present term Of the
General Assembly. In order that the
readers of the Times may appreciate
the position of our Representatives on
the new county move, we take the lib
erty of publishing a part of this letter
which is private. The reasons given
therein are the best and must strike
every one as just and proper. Mr..
Rhamesays:
ITO the bill introduced by Senator
Byrd, to form new county out of
portions of Darlington, Marion, Will
liamsburg, and Clarendon, Messrs.
Endal, Plowden, and myself prepared
and fled with the senate judiciary
committee to whom the bill had been
referred, statement of our objections
to the bill, prominent among which
were the objections that their had
been no survey nor map Of the part of
our county proposed to be cut of. and
the area ereof and OF
the remainder was uncertain;
also that in no event was it just Or
proper to dismember or divide the
county, without first having submitted
he matter to vote OF the people IN
hat part of the county proposed to
be cut of, so thatit may be ascertain
ed beyond doubt that the change
was desired by at least a majority OF
such people.

part had with the committee, do not,

The Secretary of War in his annual
report states that on the entire Allan
tic and Gull coast, a line of 2,S70 miles,
and the northern frontier, $3.50 miles,
the sole protection Of the government
against foreign invasion, is an srrna-
naent of 142 rided guns, of which ll6
are obsolete and of very low power.
The large surplus lying idle IN the
United States treasury, would make
almost perfect the navy and coast de-
fences of this country.

The militia Of the several States
stand a good chance now of enjoying
in the near future a short camp life
under the supervision of the national
government. Gen. Sheridan, in his
report which is approved by the Sec
retary of War, recommends all posi-
bic aid by the General Government
to the National Guards of the differ
ent States and suggests a system OF
national encampments for State mill
tia, at the entire expense of the ma
tional government. If these recon-
mendations are carried out our gallant
soldier boys, under the tutelase of
4Uncle Sans" blue coated officers,
would get taste Of soldier life that
would make them better soldiers or
at least better citizens.

The Presidents message is one Of
the clearest expositious of the subject
of tariff revenue we have ever seen. It
is different from all other messages IN
that it treats of only one subject-the
financial condition Of the Union, both
present and prospective. To any de-
string full and intelligent knowledge
of that important matter OF revenue
taxation, which will eventually become
the leading principle or plank in the
Democratic platform, we refer them

The OrIoff Diamond.

This magnificent gem, which in It's
rough state formed the eve Of an idol in
temple near Trichinopoli, was stolen
bv Frenchman, who escaped with his
prize to Persia, and who, fearful Of being
discovered, was glad to dispose Of his i'll
gotten gear for sum of about e2,000.
The man who bought the stone, a Jewish
merchant sold it to one Shafras, an astute
Armenian for $4,000 Shafras had con-
ceiyed the idea that by carrying the stone
10 Russia he would obtain from the En-
press Catharine the Great a princely sum
for it. How to travel, in safety with the
stone. the theft of which had of course
been discovered and proclaimed, became
"a grave consideration. 1t was too large to
swallow, and no mode Of concealment
presented itself to SEaffras that seemed
secure from discovery The way in which
he solved the problem was remarkable
lie made deep incision in the fleshy
part Of his left leg, in which he inserted
the stone closing the wound carefully by
sewing it up with silver thread When
the wound healed the Armenian mer-
chant set out on his travels quite boldly
and although more than once apprehend-
ed vigorously searched, and even tortur-
ed a little. he was obdurate, and firmly
denied having the stone in his possession.
Having at length reached his destination
he asked the Empress the sum of e40,-
eco for the gem. an amount of money
which Catharine was unable TO raise at
the moment We next find the Armen-
ian at Amsterdam with the intention of
